"No, Kato recorded it before and gave it to me now, saying it's a thank you gift for staying at my house temporarily." Chiba answered truthfully.
"So during the six hours of watching TV, were you and your friend Kato always together?" asked the uncle.
"That's not the case. I remember about halfway through, I went to take a shower, which took about half an hour...
After that, I continued watching Kamen Rider. After finishing all twelve episodes of the first season, I started watching professional baseball games.
Qianye flipped open the newspaper and pointed to a column with the program schedule: "It's the game broadcasted by Dongdu TV from 2:00 to 4:00 this afternoon, the Eagles vs. Jaguars game!
Then I saw Uncle Zhonglu and the others coming over."
"So that's how it is. I understand..." Uncle Chang nodded after listening.
"Now the situation is more or less clear..."
Miwako Sato stroked her chin and pondered, "It would take more than an hour and a half to get from Chiba's house to the victim's apartment in the morning when there's a lot of traffic..."
"Mr. Kato was watching TV with Chiba between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m., the time the victim was killed. They spent the next six hours watching Kamen Rider videos together."
Takagi agreed, "Looking at it this way, Mr. Kato does have an alibi..."
"But to be on the safe side, let's search it."
The uncle said, "See if there are any children who have the gray hooded sweatshirt and black backpack that the criminal was wearing when he fled the scene."
However, after Uncle Chang finished speaking, the two of them looked at Tang Ze at the same time.
"Don't think about taking it easy. I confirmed this when I entered the house."
Tang Ze said unhappily, "Kato has been staying at Chiye's house for several days. If there's no smell of blood, then it's no different from his other clothes, so we still have to search them one by one."
"Well, it seems that I can only search bit by bit myself..." Gao Mu said, looking at the children watching TV on the side and said, "What about them?"
"Let them watch TV there. It's quiet there, isn't it?" Tang Ze smiled and said, "And if we can find the backpack and the shirt, it will be easier for us to prove it."
"That's all." The uncle nodded and began to assign tasks: "Then I'll check the entrance, and Tang Ze will check the kitchen...
Sato, go check the bedroom, Takagi and Chiba, you two go check the bathroom and toilet..."
"No way, Uncle Chang!" Qianye said in surprise: "I'm not taking a break today, and you're investigating my house..."
"Don't take such a small matter so seriously..." Uncle Chang's words made Chiba sigh helplessly. In the end, he could only accept it obediently and check the room with Takagi.
For him today, this vacation is really a bit bad.
First, a friend who was staying at his house was suspected of being a murder suspect, and then his otaku hobby was seen by his colleagues and he was "publicly executed."
Then a group of naughty kids came over and started playing with their collections. They were terrified to see their own collections, afraid that some of them would be missing some limbs...
Afterwards, he was forced to do hard labor and search his home for possible criminal evidence...
What kind of devilish vacation is this? It’s really terrible! !
But no matter how much you complain, you still have to do the work. When criminal work gets busy, it doesn't matter whether you have get off work days off or not. You have to work all the time.
What's more, today's case involved my good friend who was in my home, so I was naturally forced to work.
After a thorough search, nothing was found. This was normal. If the case could be found in Chiba's house, it would be too simple, basically impossible.
"What, is this true?!"
Suddenly, a scream suddenly sounded in the room, startling Tang Ze who was distracted.
"It won't be that embarrassing, will it? Just slap him in the face?"
Tang Ze thought to himself and ran quickly towards the source of the sound.
"What's wrong!?"
"Have you found relevant evidence?"
Tang Ze's pace was not slow, but Sato Miwako and Conan arrived at the room where Chiba and Takagi were in an instant.
It was just a misunderstanding, and Chiba and the others quickly explained the matter clearly.
"Really? If you didn't find anything, don't make such a fuss!" Sato Miwako gave the two of them an unpleasant look, and then continued to search the room with Conan who came running over.
"What's wrong? Why are you so startled?" Tang Ze looked at Qianye and smiled, "What news did you hear that surprised you so much?"
"Detective Karasawa, you should know that Takagi said he would be transferred to the investigation headquarters in Tottori." Chiba said to Karasawa.
"Oh, I know. We both found out at the same time." Tang Ze nodded and smiled, "Takagi was quite shocked when he found out about this."
"The seniors in Section 1 said that this kind of large-scale search operation would take at least three years, or at least a year..." Takagi said with a sad face, "I was devastated when I heard the news."
"Did Detective Sato say anything else?" Chiba asked in a low voice, secretly glancing at Sato Miwako who was searching nearby.
"At that time, we only asked Gao Mu to help bring the local Twenty World Pears." Tang Ze bumped Gao Mu's shoulder and said narrowly: "As for whether there were any whispers behind his back, I don't know."
"No, nothing."
Takagi's smile was a bit forced. "But I heard that if we go to Tottori to provide support, we only have one day off a month. As long as we keep in touch regularly, it should be fine."
